100,000 Llamas

The Android developer console says Llama has been downloaded 100,000 times now, and because it's a nice round number caused by the fact we have 10 digits on our hands we should celebrate! Although I'm not quite sure how to celebrate yet.

In the meantime, there's a bunch of new features to play with.

Version 1.2011.11.27.1700:

Audio becoming noisy condition, which may react faster than headset unplug or Bluetooth device disconnected on some phones.

Desk dock condition

Shutdown phone action.

Locale action plugin support

Speak action (requires Android Text-To-Speed engine.)

Calendar events can now filter by all day and busy/available.

Updates Minimalistic text widget when the phone boots, so that it isn't blank.

WiMax toggle should now work on more phones.

Llama no longer updates the vibrate mode if it hasn't actually changed (to prevent some superfluous vibrates on Samsung phones.)

Fixed calendar reading in Ice Cream Sandwich.

Speedier event tracking... Llama now only checks those events that are likely to be triggered when testing events, rather than checking all of them. However, this only makes about 200-300ms difference.

As usual, export your data before installing test versions, just in case you have to revert to the market version!

Download Llama - FYI - I've found a bug. Repeating or delayed events may not fire. If you use those, don't install it yet. Expect a fix later today.
